So! How're ya guys doing? Fine here! I'm chillin' at home! Yay! Anyway, I'm on chapter 5! Hooray! I think I'll do this one in Rima's POV. Hai! I will!

Anyway, this chappie is now Choco Bits instead of Pocky Stix. Did you notice? That's because we are now switching topics! Now it won't be so much centered around pocky sticks, but chocolate in general! Pocky still has a chocolate side, so that's fine, right? Hmmm… I've always loved Chocolate! Don't you?

Pne more thing. The beginning might be a bit confusing and/or boring, but please read to the end! The ending is better! I promise!

Anyway! Review! Review! And Review some more!

Chapter 5: Meeting in a Candy Shop pt2

We stood there, like a bunch of humans. That little boy was gone, along with the last bag. Aidou-kun sighed dramatically.

I didn't know what was up with him. That bag was mine. Mine! How could Aidou-kun even think of taking it? If he let me take it like real vampires were supposed to, then this would never have happened! That human boy would never have had time to grab it and walk off!

I turned by back against him. Idiot…

It's not that I like winning. It was simply that I didn't like losing. No seriously, who does? Well I definitely don't. But what makes me super mad is when I tie. Why? Because tying is just another term for losing. Now, a lot of people would disagree. But what is there to disagree on? If you tie, then you didn't win! If you didn't win, then you lose! See the logic? There is no middle path! Anyways, that bag was rightfully mine! Had he ever heard of the term, 'ladies first'? Well, apparently not. I just met him, and I hate him already.

Aidou-kun coughed. "A-hem! Eno, Owt, Ether! How many bags do I have?"

Ehhh… He didn't count… Stupid.

One of the candy ladies shot up her hand. It seemed she knew the answer, and her face was about to burst.

Aidou-kun pointed at her with a finger. "Yes, Ether! You may speak!"

Ether, it seemed that she was called, opened her mouth. "We should count it! Am I right Aidou-kun?" She asked. Ether's face was eager. She seemed so sure of herself.

(Anime sweat drop on Rima) I thought she knew the answer… Guess master and pets are equally dumb…

Senri spoke up next. "Both you and Rima have sixty bags…" He mumbled. I silently thanked him with a look. I think he just saved us three hours of counting time. Who knew, maybe those candy ladies didn't even know how to count.

"Hmmm…" Aidou-kun said. "We have the same amount…"

"Aidou-kun!" Candy Lady Number One called as she raised her hand, "We still have more bags in the storage room. Would you like me to get it?"

Aidou-kun replied, "No it's fine." he said waving his hand up and down. "I'll leave now."

Candy Lady Number One seemed sad. "Why? Don't you want to stay here?"

Aidou-kun shook his head. "Sorry, Eno, but I've really got to go. I'll see you in a week! Okay?"

Candy Lady Number One, a.k.a., Eno, nodded reluctantly.

Candy Lady Number Two got up and walked over to the cash register. I guess she was the cashier. She waited as Ether helped him carry the bags of chocolate from the pile to the counter, but, before he got there, I stepped right in front of him, with a bag of pocky sticks. Eno helped me.

His expression was not happy, but I was. He frowned. I smiled inside. On the outside I was expressionless, but inside I was bursting with triumph. Yes! Ladies first, dumbass!

"Eno!" He cried. "How could you betray me?" He asked in his annoyingly cute and pitiful voice. It seemed to do the trick. Eno stopped helping my carry bags right that instant.

"I'm sowry, Aidou-kun!" Eno cried. Her eyes were bubbly and tears were about to burst out. "Pweeze don't get mad at me!" She sniffed.

"How could you go against me, Eno! I said I was going to return to you!"

"I'm so sorry!" Eno said. "I'll commit suicide if Aidou-kun hates me! That way I won't be a burden to you!"

She looked as if she were about to drop down sobbing. He sighed, and then quickly put on a happy face. "I'll forgive you! Aidou will always forgive! I'm full of love! Besides, if you killed yourself, all your blood would have gone to waste! And I would have had to clean it up. I don't like eating from the floor!" He gave her a chibi grin.

"I don't really get the last past…" Eno said, "But I don't care. But you'll really forgive me? Really? Thank you so much!" Eno hurriedly said, as if she was scared of him changing his mind. Then she quickly got up and stood in front of him. She took his hands in hers and held them up. "Aidou-kun is so nice! Yay!" She smiled.

Owt and Ether gave her an evil look. It seemed as if they wanted to slaughter Eno. I suddenly remembered the phase, 'if looks could kill'… That would have been it.

"A-hem." I said. Owt looked at me.

"Oh!" She said. "I'm so sorry I forgot about you. Here. Let me help you!" Owt took my bags and started to weigh them. Problem was, the bags didn't fit all at once, so she weighed them separately. Every time, after about ten bags she would suddenly say, "Um… I forgot the total…" I, of course, got mad.

After about half an hour of waiting, I just handed her three one hundred dollar bills. "Is this enough?"

She looked at me. "It's too much! I don't have enough change!"

"Just keep it", I mumbled.

"Thank you so much!" She said. Aidou-kun gave us a glare.

Then, Senri put them in a large bag and heaved it onto his shoulders, and we left the store.

After two steps out the door, a little kid pointed at Senri. He looked up at his parents. "Mommy! Daddy! Look! He's like Santa Claus!" His parents quickly shut him up.

I looked at Senri. He did look like Santa. His red shirt with the white trim resembled Santa. All he was missing was the red hat, the happy face, and the good attitude. I heard Aidou-kun stifle a laugh.

To my horror, he walked out with his own gigantic bag. Aidou-kun smiled and held out his hand to me. "Hi! I'm sorry about what happened before. Lets be good friends!" Stupid chibi personality. I thought. As if I'd be friends with someone like you. I hate you.

My face was expressionless. I stared at him or a second, and then walked away. Senri followed me.

"Wait!" He said. "Let me introduce myself!"

I don't want to know you. Baka… I continued walking.

"But Kuran Kaname-sama gave me orders!"

I stopped in my tracks. Senri did too. Huh? He said Kuran… He couldn't be talking about the pureblood family, could he?

Aidou-kun caught up. "Don't you want to join us?"

"What?" I asked.

"Join us…" he repeated slowly. Then he wiped off that grin with a more serious expression. "We need more vampires to come to school with us. Kaname-sama gave me orders to invite all the vampires I saw."

A vampire school? What was this about all of a sudden?

And that's the end of chapter 5!

Author's Note: Well, if this chapter was a little bit confusing, I'll help you a bit. Candy Lady Number One is Eno. Candy Lady Number Two is Owt, and Candy Lady number Three is Ether. If you spell Eno backwards, it's one. If you spell Owt backwards, it's two. If you scramble Three, it's Ether. Does that help? Oh, and, you may wanna reread this chappie. It'll make a lot more sense once you know this.
